Chapter 14

Khushi ran outside and went to her room. She put her hand on her heart which was beating faster and faster. The noise of Arnav's heart beat was still ringing through her ears. She could hear it beat and it matched the same speed as Arnavs. She went again and looked at herself in the mirror a blush on her face she resized that he loved her. She could feel it she could feel him. A magic sparked in her eyes when she had forgotten all that was around her all she remembered was his heart beat and how it matched hers. Was this right was this meant to be. She opened her eyes as she remembered reality as she remembered Kartic. The man who was married to her but never loved her, the man who never made her feel special or even gave her the position  on his wife and then she saw Arnav who was a stranger but yet so special who always wade her feel like she was beautiful that she was special. She wasn't his wife and yet she felt like she was his. She thought of him to be her prince charming her man.

Khushi looked at herself in the mirror as the new feeling poured into her, she had figured out that her heart belonged to him she was his, She realized that he had fallen for her the day he saw her sitting on that beach all alone. Ever since then he has always comforted her and made her feel that she was the most amazing person on the planet. Her heart beat started to raise and she went towards her Devi maya's statue and picked it up and looked at it

Khushi: Devi Maya I love him (she smiled) I love him I love Arnavji and I know he loves me too.  Devi maya he is my prince (she kissed the statue) Thank you so much for this I know you brought us together.. I dont know how to repay you for such a man... (she paused and then she said) but I am not going to confess first (she said with a naughty smile) He has to tell me he loves me first only then I will tell him how much I love him (her heart started to beat fast)

Meanwhile Arnav was having a shower. After Khushi ran away from the room like that it kept him wondering what happened to her suddenly. He remembered that cute smile that he saw of hers as he woke up. Today felt like a good morning and he wished his whole life could go like this. What magic this girl had on him he wondered. His smile increased and he made up his mind to talk to her and find out what happened and why she left like that.

Khushi smiled as she came down. The glow on her face was evident and stood out. Ishaara noticed and said in a bubbly voice

Ishaara: Khushi what happened suddenly your glowing you went to wake up Bhai right

Khsuhi: (hesitated nervously) Ha woh nothing Ish just general today seems to be a very good day

At that point of time Arnav came down the steps and Khushi looked at him blushing he wondered what was up with her, but he noticed the glow too. Then Ishaara said

Ishaara: Oh I see suddenly the morning became special is it.

Khsuhi: Yeah (she said softly then changing the topic she said) So what do we plan to do today

Rohit: well there is a party on Wagatore beach and its a big one i was thinking lets go there.

Anjili: great idea sounds like fun. We can shop at the flee market all day and then we can come back get ready have dinner at Thalasa and then go for the party (she smiled)

Arnav: Di I dont know I dont think I am up for a party, I have to look at some emails. (he said softly)

Khusuhi: (who noticed came and sat next to Anjili and said) Anjiliji I think its a great idea I would love to come, sounds like fun (she said with a smile)

Arnav: Ok may be the party is not that bad an idea (he said smirking)

Khushi: (in a cute voice) But Arnavji you said you dont want to come then how come you changed your mind (she smirked back at him)

Arnav: Because your planning on going and i can't let you go alone (he raised his eye brows then turned to Arnjili and said) Di dont be fooled by her kitten like appearance... when she drinks she becomes a tiger (he smirked and Khushi blushed)

Anjili Rohit and Ishaara couldn't stop laughing their ass's off these two were so cute. Then Rohit said

Rohit: Great so we are all going sounds like loads of fun... besides I would love to see a drunk Khushi

They all burst out laughing as Khushi looked at Arnav and blinked at him thanking him for coming with them to the party. She so wanted him to be there with her. To take care of her. She never wanted to be away from him she wanted to be close to him it felt safe with him around. 

Chapter 13

Khushi woke up it was around 11 am, she got off her bed stretching and yawning away and then made her way to the closet to remove her clothes, Today she decided to wear the yellow dress Arnav loved that dress he always told her that yellow made her look very cute, An instant blush on her face she smiled and then touched her cheeks as they became hot. She ran to the mirror to check what was wrong with her and noticed her red cheeks ...

Khushi: Khushi stop blushing (she spoke to herself) My Arnavji na what has he done to me  (she said in a worried tone)

Then she relized what she said she called Arnav hers and her heart started to beat faster and faster at the speed of lighting. Her cheeks became hotter

Khushi: Khushi what is this happening to you are you sick or something.. (she touched her fore head) My Arnavji what is wrong with you, he is not mine.... Khushi for sure your sick...

Khushi felt so new today she woke up with that glowing smile and she felt so special, she had no idea why and what this was but it felt good and it was all because of her Arnavji... The love bug had caught onto her for sure, she just didn't know it yet.

As she came out she saw Anjili and Ishaara making breakfast.

Khushi: Anjiliji  good morning can i help you

Anjili: Khushi hi good morning (she gave out that radiant smile) Sure off course can you do me a favor and go and wake up Chottey.

 Khushi looked nervous and Ishaara tried to controle her smile. Anjili also did the same and Rohit who was reading the paper, put his paper down and looked at the two sisters and knew there was something up with them. Then he looked at Khushi and said

Rohit: Yeah Khushi why dont you go and wake up Arnav, you know we were thinking of heading to the beach.

Khsuhi: Sure Rohitji I will wake him up. (she said nervously)

Meanwhile Arnav was fast asleep in his room, dreaming of Khushi he had a soft smile on his face. The previous day he just realized that he was madly and completely in love with Khushi... what was with this girl that just made him forget himself. In the past few days Arnav forgot that he was a business tycoon he forgot that he was a ruthless man, all he remembered was that he was more lighter way happier as soon as this girl walked into his life. She was his magic and that was for sure. God if only there was a way for them to be together. He thought but he knew about Kartic and he wanted to strangle him for troubling Khushi his Khushi how dare he. The one thing he couldn't stand was a sad khushi. His eyes crinkled in his sleep.

Khushi entered the room and saw a sleeping Arnav. He looked so hot in his sleep his hair was so messy his eyes shut but wait what were those worry lines on his forehead and that angry look she wondered was he dreaming she thought. She slowly and lightly caressed his face with her soft fingers removing the lines of worry. Arnav felt her warm touch and the instant lines of worry diapered and the frown turned into a soft smile. She smiled back at him he was so cute. Arnav slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Khushi sitting on his bed in his favorite yellow dress. A wide grin on his face his heart started to beat fast. She looked beautiful and seeing her first thing in the morning made it even more special for him. She looked at him blushing he was shirtless. He got up and sat on his bed and rubbed his eyes and said in a sleepy voice.

Arnav: Hi Khushi..

Khushi: Hi Arnavji  good morning(she smiled back as her heart beat increased) Anjiliji has asked you to come down for breakfast

Arnav: Ohk I am coming (he said while removing his blanket)

He was in his track pants and was shirtless and when he moved the blanket to stand up Khushi stood up with him to leave but seeing him like that she couldn't control herself that warmth spreading through her, her heart going dhak dhak she felt week  in her knees and she collapsed on him. As soon as she fell on him he was taken by surprise and he lost balance and both of them fell on the bed in a second. Khushi's head was on Arnavs chest. She dug it in holding onto him tightly and he had his hands around her back keeping her safe both their eyes were shut tightly and Khushi could feel Arnav's heart beat and at that very moment she relized that he felt the same way she did. She got up from his chest looked at him with a scared and confused look and then ran out of the room leaving him totally lost and confused wondering what just happened.

Chapter 12

They were sipping on coffee when suddenly the door bell rang and Ishaara squealed in excitement

Ishaara: Di is here

Arnav and she smiled and then in a huff she ran to open the door Arnav looked towards Khushi she seemed nervous and then he took her hand in his and then said to her softly

Arnav: DOnt worry it will be all ok I promise

Khushi: BUt what if she doesn't like me then what (she said sad)

Arnav: And why wont she.. Your very lovable... She will love you just like i... (he realized what he was saying and stopped half way through) Dont worry Khuhsi She will understand the situation. (he gave her hope)

She nodded and then they went to the door. As Ishaara opened the door she jumped to hug her older sister. Khushi couldn't see her clearly for a second. But when Ishaara moved she saw a medium heighten woman in a long beach dress. She looked sweet and very pretty along with her was man he looked like her husband.  They came in and then Arnav smiled and hugged his sister

Arnav: Hi di Welcome to Goa

Anjili: Chottey so good to see u... (She caressed his face and then said in a soft voice) Look at you, You look different. Your face is glowing (she said genuinely) I am happy for you

Her husband smiled at the brother and sister and then Ishaara dragged Khushi towards Anjili and Khushi was really shy she tried to stop her but Ishaara was quick to say

Ishaara: Di I know the reason he is so happy and glowing and she is right here

Anjili smiled and looked towards Ishaara who had a young girl standing next to her. She was dressed in Simple clothes and she was blushing deep red with Ishaara's words. She smiled at Anjili and Anjili looked in the direction of her Chottey who looked conscious and started to pretend like he didn't know anything. She smiled at Khushi and then said in a bubbly voice.

Anjili: Hi I am Anjili Arnav;s elder sister

Khushi: (smiled back folded her hands and then said) Nameste Anjiliji I am Khushi

Anjili: (was a bit surprised by the sudden gesture) Khushi nice to meet you.

Khushi: Like wise Anjiiliji

Rohit: Khushi I am Anjili's husband ROhit

Khushi: Nameste Rohitji... You guys must be hungry come I have made food (she smiled)

Anjili did not expect this at all. They sat on the table and ate. As she took the first bite she smiled. It was really delicious Rohit said

Rohit: This is Yum. Wow Khushi you cook well

Anjili stayed silent and gave Arnav an impressed look. Who was a bit relived. Khushi was nervous of how they would like it but then when Rohit said it tasted good she was also relived. They ate and then Anjili and Rohit went to their room to settle as they were tired from the traveling. As they left Arnav went to Khushi and then said to her

Arnav: See I told you they would love you

Khushi: Yeah I know but they still dont know about what is happening. (She said sad and hugged him resting her head on his chest)

Arnav: Dont you worry Di will understand trust me (he looped his arms around her and cuddled her more tightly pulling her to his chest)

They stayed like that for a while feeling comfortable with one another. Anjili was coming out to get water when she saw the two hug each other. She smiled. She got a good feeling from Khushi she could tell her Chottey was in love. Ishaara came from behind and tapped her and said in a soft voice

Ishaara: Dont they just look magical. Made for each other. (she smiled while sighing)

Anjili: Yeah they sure do. This Khushi seems nice, She is so different from the rest of the girls

Ishaara: Believe me Di she is she sure is, Bhai wont admit it but he is so into her

Anjili: But Ish it doesn't look like he doesn't admit it. I think they have confessed the way they are hugging and all

Ishaara: No Di confess is a far far away. Bhai wont even accept that he loves her and he says that if I love her it doesn't matter we can never be together

Anjili: (raised her eye brow) Why would he say that

Ishaara: Its a long story Di

Anjili: I am all ears trust me. I am dying to know tell me

Ishaara: come with me (she took her to the next room and then started to explain the whole story)

Once she was done Anjili was shocked but still she was impressed her. Her respect for Khushi went up more. When she heard how she was standing up to her husband, She smiled at Ishaara and then said.

Anjili: Ish its time we get this story moving lets get these two together.

Ishaara: See Di I know you would love her

Both the sisters started to come up with a plan to get Arnav and Khushi together.

Chapter 11

The food was ready and Khushi started to lay the table. Arnav and Ishara came and sat on the table and then Kushi served the food. Arnav looked at her all lost and confused after his new discovery of his feeling not knwong what to say he was completely blank. Khushi on the other hand was super nervous of what he would think of her food she hoped he would like it, Ishara just watched how the two love birds looked at each other how they tried to steel glances at one another.

As she removed the cloches Arnav saw his favorite dish in front of him Aloo puri. A smile on his have he looked at her wondering how she knew and then Ishaara squealed in excitement 

Ishaara: Yummy Khushi how did you know that Bhaya's favorite dish is Aloo puri 

Khushi: (looked clueless and then said) I didn't know that.. .BUt i like Aloo puri and I was craving for it from a long time so I made it I hope you like it (she spoke softly)

Arnav was surprised at her he smiled at her and then Khushi served some in his plate. He took the first bite and his eyes shut Arnav had passed on to a different world It tasted so good he couldn't understand it was only Aloo puri it tasted the same as always but the fact that she made it with her own hands for him made it feel tasty. Khushi looked at him nervously her heart beating she really hoped he would like it.  He opened his eyes and then saw her looking at him. He became conscious he straightened himself. He said in a husky voice 

Arnav: It tastes good 

Khushi left out a breath and Ishaara giggled at them. She sat and then quietly ate her food. And when they were done she said in a soft voice 

Khsuhi: Arnavji there is some Aloo puri in the fridge for when your other sister comes. she will be coming late na and then she would be hungry so I made some extra (she smiled and then started to walk towards the kitchen with the dirty plates)

Arnav looked at her stunned she actually made extra for his di. That was very thoughtful of her and she was really one in a million he was touched by her actions. Khushi was really something and he was glad that he came across someone like her. His heart swelled and his younger sister could see the dreamy look on his face and she chuckled and then said in a teasing manner 

Ishaara: Bhaya your in love 

Arnav was about to say something to her and she got up and ran before he could react. Maybe his sister was right. Khushi finished cleaning the table and washed the dishes Ishaara and Arnav were just sitting in the hall she had a tray of coffee she came and sat and smiled and said 

Khushi: Would you guys like some coffee

Ishaara: Yes please (she took a cup from the tray)\

Khushi: Arnavji wouldn't you like some coffee 

Ishara: Khushi Bhai only has black coffee 

Khushi: I know thats why I didn't put milk in this one. This is black Arnavji for you and it has the sugar free pills in it as well (she smiled and handed him the mug)

Arnav: (took the mug from her and then asked curiously) How did you know 

Khushi: I see you every evening when we go to the coffee shop You oder for black coffee and tell them to put the sugar free pills in it so I figured I should make that for you (she smiled)

Arnav was now totally touched by her she noticed so much about him maybe Ishaara was right his heart started to pump but his mind told him to control himself 

Ishaara: Wow Khushi you really notice a lot about Bhaya 

Khushi and Arnav both looked at each other embarrassed when Ishaara said that and Naughty Ishaara just sat there and giggled as the two looked really embarrassed at one another. 

Chapter 10

When they finished hanging out at the beach they returned back to the villa Ishaara knew that Khushi was staying with them but she had no idea why. She didnt seem to care she took this as a good excuse for her brother to spend some time with her. Arnav had just finished making his usual phone calls and had sent a hotel car to the airport for his other sister Anjili and brother in law Ritesh.  When he saw the two girls walking into the room laughing and giggling he was confused. He asked

Arnav: where have you two been

Ishaara: At the beach OMG Bhaya Khushi is so cute (she smiled and laughed)

Khushi: (slapping her playfully said) Your crazy

Arnav: (confused said) Ok (then he looked at Khushi and said) Your in a salwar (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: Yeah I just felt like it

Arnav: It suits you (he said with a smirk)

Khushi instantly smiled and blushed and Ishaara was quick to notice and she even saw her brothers expressions who seemed to be totally smitten by Khushi there was something going on and Ishaara's heart could feel it she giggled a bit both looked at her confused and then she made some excuse and left the room. Khushi said that she was going to freshen up Arnav just blankly nodded.

Ishaara ran into her room and went inside she jumped on the bed and then started to sing a bit in excitement chanting away that she could feel the love between them. She smiled and then decided it was time to confront her brother. Oh the goose bumps on her arms she rubbed them off and then went to her brother who was sipping on his whisky looking out at the evening sky. She came and sat next to him

Ishaara: Bhaya

Arnav: Hey baby what up (he greeted his sister)

Ishaara: nothing much where is Khushi

Arnav: Gone for a bath

Ishaara: She is so nice Bhaya (she started to take the topic out) How do you know her

Arnav: (hesitated) Uh actually I just met her on the beach and we started to talk (he said casually)

Ishaara: (shocked) You spoke to a random person on the beach (she raised her eye brows) How is that possible you dont even talk to the people we know so much so how did you start talking to her

Arnav: Well uh I dont know there is something about her (he explained a small smirk on his face) You know the day I met her she stood out the most amongst all girls she was sitting on the beach in her salwar all lost (he remembered) I still remember she looked so beautiful sitting there her hair was flying in the wind and she was in deep thought (he said as his heart started to beat)

Ishaara: (smiled and then asked) Then what happened

Arnav: Nothing what happened she caught my attention I went and spoke to her she ran away

Ishaara: (shocked) Ran away. That's weird I thought all the girls dye to talk to you

Arnav: (chcukled) well yeah Khushi is not like that She is different the first day she got so scared in facy she never even knew who I was.

Ishaara: Really

Arnav: Oh yeah but then we started to get close and then she told me about herself and stuff (he looked at Ishaara) She is a really nice girl (he said lost in her thought as his heart started to beat)

Ishaara: (smiled) Yeah she sure is (then she pause and said) Bhaya do you like her

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Off course I do I just said she is so nice

Ishaara: No I mean I do you like her (she said again)

Arnav: What the!! Yeah i like her (he said irritated)

Ishaara: (nudged him) No I think you love her

Arnav: What the!! (he said shocked looking at his sister)

Ishaara: You love her Bhaya (she teased)

Arnav: Shut up (he yelled feeling conscious) Ishaara your crazy you start off any where

Ishaara: I am crazy (she raised her eye brows) Sure your the one who is totally smitten by her and I am crazy (she said sarcastically)Bhaya you love her admit it

Arnav: (rolling his eyes) No I dont ok. (he said irritated)

Ishaara: Then tell me why do you get so lost when she is around and why do you start to notice everything around her. Oh and why does your expressions change when she is happy and sad (She questioned him)

Arnav: (having no answer) Uh your crazy (his heart started to beat faster with what his sister just told him )

Ishaara: You love her admit it

Arnav: No I dont and even If i do We cant be together

Ishaara: (confused) Why not she is perfect for you at least she is not like those skinny blonds

Arnav: We cant and thats final she is married

Ishaara: (shocked) What she is married ?? Where is her husband and how come she is staying here

 Arnav explained to his sister everything and told her what was going on and Ishaara was shocked after she heard Khushi's story she felt bad for her. She was happy her brother was helping her but still her heart said to her married or not there was certainly something between them and so she said

Ishaara: Bhaya I still feel that there is something between you two

Arnav: There is nothing between us

Ishaara: Are you sure because it seems like to me that Khushi has feelings for you too

Arnav: (heart started to beat faster hearing that) What the !! how do you know

Ishaara: Bhaya you dont need a PHD in knowing this ok I can see it she is as into you as you are into her and you two love each other (she told him)

Arnav heart started to do 360 jumps by now hearing this that Khushi has feelings for him. he was not sure though but still the thought of that made him jump from within Ishaara could see the change in expressions and decided to leave at this point to give her brother some time to think and so she said

Ishaara: Bhaya think about it

Saying that she got up leaving Arnav in deep thought. he remembered the flash back in the car before they were going to meet Rohit Arnav was about to confess to her but didnt even realize it when he thought about it again he was hit himself what he was about to say to her. He remembered her blushes and her cute face how it always dazzled when they were close to each other. May be this is love he questioned  himself. He was in deep thought when suddenly he heard the door click and there right in front of him she stood in a white clad salwar kurta looking like an angle who had just fallen from the sky. The beauty in his thoughts was right before his eyes his heart started to beat as he saw her and a small blush crept on Khushi's face as she started to turn red. then she softly said

Khushi: Arnvji i was thinking can we stay home tonight for dinner i would like to cook if you dont midn

Arnav: (lost) You can cook? (he said confused)

Khushi: (smiled) Off course I can and I love to cook

Arnav: Ok cool sure why not (he said confused and dazed)

Khushi: (smiled and then said) Ok is it ok if I cook indian food

Arnav nodded and then Khushi went off to the kitchen and started to prepare dinner leaving Arnav totally in his thoughts. More confused and more in love Arnav could put a finger on it but ever since Ishaara mentioned about being in love his whole system had started to shake. Suddenly Arnav could see his perfect soul mate right in front of his eyes. His heart was jumping to joy but his mind kept reminding him of everything. Arnav Singh Raizada was now true a man who was madly completely and insanely in love with Khushi he just had to take a few minutes to digest it 

Chapter 9

Ishara reached the hotel and she was just unpacking her clothes she asked for her brother but the hotel staff told her he was out with some girl and would be back. Ishaara smiled she was happy she was dying to meet this mystery girl who her brother was out with, She only hoped that she was nice and not one of those irritating bimbo models who hang around him for money and power. Although she knew that her brother was not that type but still it that doubt was there.

Arnav and Khushi reached the hotel room and Khuhsi looked at him nervously as they stood outside the door Arnav had briefed Khushi  about Ishaara and how much he loved her. Khushi was excited but nervous she somehow wanted Ishaara to approve of her and she didnt want to intrude on his family vacation

Khushi: Are you sure this is ok. I mean I am ruining your holiday I dont want to. I can go back to my room (she asked Arnav)

Arnav: What the!! no way Your staying here with me and I am not letting you out of my site until everything is clear (he said holding her hand protectively)  You are staying here with me

Khushi: But what if your sister has a problem  I mean Arnavji I really dont want you to go through anything because of me

Arnav: Khushi not another word (he placed his fingers on her lips and her heart started to beat) No one will say anything and my sister no way (he said casually) Both my sister are a crazy bunch of people you have no idea the both of them could up turn the entire room together thats how much fun they are. They will not mind you I am sure of that. And especially my younger one  You will see they will love you for sure (he said assuring her)

Khushi nodded and then Arnav held her hand and rang the door bell Ishaara gasped in excitement as she ran to the door and opened it she yelled in glee

Ishaara: Bhaya (she said smiling while she hugged him)

Arnav: Hi guhiya how are you I missed you

Ishaara: Me too (she said happily)

Khushi stood there looking at the brother and sister hug she smiled. Ishaara seemed like a sweet and cute girl she looked like she was 18 and she was her brother's princess She was just as Arnav described her to be cute and sweet. Ishaara turned to Khushi and then said with a smile

Ishaara: Hi I am Ishaara

Khushi: (smiled and shook her hand) Khushi

Arnav: Ishaara this is Khushi my Uh friend (he hesitated

Ishaara: Thats nice (she turned to Khushi and then said) SO khushi why dont you come in

They all came in and sat. All three of them were casually talking Ishaara like Khushi she seemed like a simple girl and she seemed nice. She looked at Arnav and then at Khushi and then Back at Arnav and then the only thought that came to her mind was that they looked so cute together. She didnt know much about Khushi but she was getting a good feeling from her especially because she saw her brother open up alot usually he was a big khadoos who would sulk but here he was jovial and happy. Something about her that seemed to be right.  Ishaara told Arnav that Anjili and Ritesh would be catching the next flight as Ritesh had some meeting that he had to attend.  After some tea Ishaara said she was going to the pool for a swim and she left.

Arnav: Khushi why dont you go and freshen up

Khushi: Arnav i need my clothes and they are in Kartics room (she said irritate)

Arnav: Ok dont worry i will get them

Khushi: (shrieked) No its ok I will go There are a couple of things which I need

Arnav: Ok cool I will come with you (consoled her and put his arm around her and said) Dont worry I am with you

Khushi nodded they headed over to Kartics room, he was out luckily she quickly packed her clothes and left before he came back. Arnav and she headed back to the room. Khushi changed into her salwar as she felt like wearing one. Arnav headed to make some phone calls and she went to the beach. Ishaara was there with some friends of hers, She saw Khushi in a salwar and was surprised for a bit not expecting her to wear such a thing. She excused herself and then went over to her and smiled

Ishaara: Khushi (she smiled)

Khushi: (smiled back) Hi

Ishaara: How come you in a salwar omg you look so different (she said confused)

Khushi: (giggled) Well yeah i like salwars, You know before I met Arnavji i use to wear Salwars and after meeting him I wore dresses. I actually like salwars (she explained) I know in Goa its a little weird but some times they are more comfortable

Ishaara: (chuckled) You look so pretty in them And who cares if its Goa or Delhi or Mumbai you should wear what you like. (she said cutely)

Khushi agreed the girls spent some good time on the beach and Ishaara got to know Khushi a bit better she could feel that Khushi was some what feeling something for her brother and she liked it Khushi seemed like a cute nice girl and her brother was happy with her. May be this was the girl for him she thought oh she was so excited her cupid instincts started to work, she just needed to know her brothers thought well so that she was sure of what she was doing. 

Chapter 8

Khushi and Arnav had already left for the meeting with Rohit. Thye met at the palm beach hotel at North Goa. The car ride was silent and no one spoke a word. Khushi was fiddling with the ends of her dress as she was really nervous what was going to happen it had now slowly hit her what was happening. She just didn't want her fathers name to go tarnished she didn't want to have him insulted and if Kartic divorced her that was what will happen. But if she stayed with him then she would be miserable She had no idea what to do and what not to. She was in deep thought when Arnav noticed her tension. He was driving but he slowly shifted his hand from the gear and placed it on hers stoping her from fiddling with her dress. She looked up at him in confusion and  he looked at her lovingly and then said.

Arnav: Dont worry what ever the outcome i am here with you

Khushi: (smiled at him sweetly and then said) I know but still I am a bit scared.

Arnav: Dont be you di nothing wrong

Khushi: (smiled back) Thank you

Arnav: (rolled his eyes and said cutely) You have to stop saying Thank you. I dont like it

Khushi: (chuckled he looked cute) Oh Arnavji your so funny. (she paused and looked at him and then said) I wonder why people find you so khadoos you are such a sweet heart (she said playfully with out thinking)

Arnav: (jammed the brakes and looked at her and smirked with raised eye brows) Sweet heart

Khushi: (realized and blushed she hesitated and then said) Uh sorry it just came out and i didn't realize (she blushed a bit more and then asked softly) But why does every one call you khadoos

Arnav: Well normally i am like that only i dont talk much or say much i am suppose to be a ruthless tycoon (he smirked)

Khushi: But with me your not like that why how come (she asked him softly)

Arnav: (hesitated and then said) I dont know i just dont know there is something about you (he said softly)

Khushi: (raised his eye brows blushing and smiling) And why am i so special

Arnav: (caressed her face and she shut her eyes and he smirked) Because..... I....

Khushi: (looking into his eyes deep her heart beating) Because you

Arnav: (heart beating) I...

He was about to complete his sentance when he heard his phone ring. They both came out of the trance and looked at each other all lost and confused and then Khushi said softly

Khushi : Your phone

Arnav nodded and picked up it was Rohit. He told Rohit they were reaching in 5 minutes, He began driving the rest of the ride was quite they reached the hotel. Rohit greeted them in they sat Arnav ordered for some food and then Rohit said

Rohit: ASR what is it that you want to know

Arnav: Actually not me its Khushi who wants to know about Kartic

Rohit: (confused) Khushi Why what is Kartic to you

Khushi: (looked down upset and said) I am that unlucky wife of his

Rohit: What ?? (he said shocked) No way you can't be that girl that girl is middle class and ugly that what Kartic says and you your one good looking girl  even if you wear Indian clothes i dont think you would look ugly (he said shocked)

Khushi: (shocked) Uhm thanks for the compliment but Kartic doesn't think that

Arnav: (looking at Khushi he said) That guy is an idiot your nothing like what he says

Rohit: Yeah you aren't in fact i am shocked he let go of a girl like you. Kartic is an idiot

Khushi: I dont care about him any more i just want to know what he is going to do for the future

Rohit: Well he is looking out for a girl and he claims he will divorce you once he finds some one. Infact he has already found some girl. Her name is Easha she from USA. (he paused and then said) I dont know if this is any use to you of not but after he saw you at my party with ASR he was shocked he couldn't even stand straight it was like some one hit him hard on the head

Arnav: Well i am glad he got that feeling I was ready to kill him when i found out who he was (he said angrily) In fact i want to ruin him completely

Khushi: (looked at Arnav and said) No dont, Dont do that

Arnav: (angry) And why not (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: Arnavji as much as I hate Kartic and want to ruin him i feel bad for his family. His family was good to me and i dont want to hurt them. They are good people

Arnav: What the !! How can you be like this Khsuhi. (he asked shocked)

Khushi: (smiled back) Because i am. Arnavji the only thing i want to do is get my family out of this mess I dont want my father to be shamed in front of every one (she said softly)

Arnav: (took her hand in his and said to her) Dont worry i wont let that happen

Rohit: i wish both of you best of luck and hope that you are successful (he then turned to Khushi and said) Khushi if you need my help i am there for you (he assured her) just shout out and i will be there

Khushi: (smiled) thank you Rohit thanks alot

Rohit: Its my pleasure (then he turned to Arnav and said) ASR you have helped me a lot  in my time of need and I am will always be loyal to the you and company

Arnav nodded, He and Khushi left from there to go back to the hotel .He told her that his sister is coming and he would like for them to meet, Khushi was more than happy to meet her. Also Arnav thought this would be a change for her after this news. He needed her to think straight with a fresh mind so that she could take a good decision with her life.

Chapter 6

Man: Khushi (he said shocked)

Khushi: Kartic (Khushi said with her eyes big)

Arnav was shocked too. He knew what Khushi was going through and then Rohit said

Rohit: You two know each other (he asked unknown to what is happening)

Kartic: (hesitated) Yeah i know her through common friends (he said hiding the truth then he looked at Khushi) How come you are here

Khushi: (who was now pissed off and irritated had enough. she clung onto Arnav and then said) I am here with Arnavji I am his date (she said proudly)

Kartic was shocked he didn't expect Khushi to say that first he didn't expect her here then he didn't think she would be dressed like this he was shocked she looked pretty but what really came as a shock to him was when she clung to the biggest richest business tycoon and said that she is his date. What the hell just happened

Arnav: (looked back at her and could see the fire. He smiled he put his hand on hers and said) Yes thats rig

Kartic: (hesitated) Hmm.. (changing the topic he said) So Mr Raizada I was hoping we can do some business i wanted to get into the garments line

Arnav: (didn't want to do business with him but still said) Mail me your proposal i will have a look at it and if i feel the this business of yours is worth investing my money in then i will think about it (he said with a straight look)

Kartic: Fair enough i will mail you (he nodded then he looked at Khushi and said) I will see you around

Khushi nodded politely still holding on to Arnav who held her protectively. After he left Arnav and Khushi looked at each other and started laughing both could not stop. Kartics face was really worth watching he was shocked to see Khushi like that so modern. She knew what shocked him was when she told him that she is Arnav's date. Arnav also decided to play along he like the idea when she called him her date. Rohit looked at them all confused and then said

Rohit: Am I missing something

Khushi: No your not its an inside joke. (she then turned to Arnav said) Arnavji i would be right back I want to use the rest room

Arnav nodded Khushi left to go to the wash room and Arnav asked Rohit

Arnav: Give me some background history of his what kind of person is he (Arnav asked)

Rohit: Well he is not a close friend but what i know of him is that he is the son of Roy companies. He works with his dad and is now hoping to start his own business

Arnav: Hmm I see and is he married

Rohit: I hear he is but he never brings his wife. Rumors has it he hates her a lot, He is looking for another girl. 

Arnav: (confused) But what about his wife and why does he hate her 

Rohit: She is suppose to be some middle class cheep girl he claims to say. I think when he finds another girl he will divorce his wife. 

Arnav: Hmm Ok thanks Rohit (was angry and pissed off but didn't show it)

Rohit: Any time by the way Arnav Khushi looks like a really sweet girl i hope it works out for you (he said sweetly)

Arnav smirked and then the boys walked out of the lounge and then went back to the party 

Meanwhile Khushi was coming out of the wash room when Kartic came in front of her. She was taken by surprise Kartic said in a rude voice 

Kartic: Hello Khushi 

Khushi: (angry) Move out of my way Arnavji is waiting for me (she said leaving but he held her her)

Kartic: Not so fast tell me what are you doing here and like this in these clothes

Khushi: Its none of your business Kartic I am not coming in your way so what does it matter to you if i am here. 

Kartic: (angry) It does your my wife I ought to know where you are 

Khushi: (folding her hands she said) Really now you realize that i am your wife. How dare you tell me you ought to know where i am. You never treated me like a wife you never loved me (she said angry) I dont even know where you are half the times. So why should i tell you where I am when you dont bother about me. (She said irritated) You enjoy your holiday with your friends and let me be the way I want 

saying that she removed her hand off his and left from there leaving Kartic shocked once again.

She came back to the hall to Arnav looked at her she seemed irritated and then she said

Khushi: Arnavji can we leave

Arnav: (raising his eye brows) Leave why did Kartic say something

Khushi: (she nodded and then said) Forget it Arnavji (with her head down)

Arnav: (he lifted her chin with his fingers and said) Come with me

He took her out of the party hall Kartic followed them out to sneak and see what they are up to.

Arnav: What happened tell me

Khushi: That idiot how dare he (she said annoyed) he tells me that he is my husband and he ought to know what i am doing here. When i ask him where he is and what is he doing he back answers me but when he asks he expects me to answer.

Arnav: (calming her down he said) Shh dont worry (he took her into a hug and she rested her head on his chest and then he looked down at her and said) Sweet heart forget him and listen to me... Dont spoil your mood because of him be happy before you found out he was here you were happy weren't you

Khushi: (cutely nodded and said) Yeah

Arnav: So then thats all that matters, Lets go in and finish that drink of yours shall we (he smirked)

Khushi: (giggled) Arnavji you want to get me drunk tonight as well

Arnav: (smirked back) May be. Ok yeah (he admitted) I want you to forget all your problems and be happy (he said cutely)

Khushi: (found him adorable) Oh Arnavji your the best (she cuddled into him digging her head on his chest then she peeped up and then said to him) Lets go in any which ways i dont want to spoil mood because of that Kartic he and his silly attitude can go down the drain

Arnav: Thats like me girl come lets go (he held her hand and they went inside the party)

Kartic had no idea what just hit him but he was burning of jealousy he did not like Khushi with Arnav and he had to find a way to stop it this had hurt his ego completely. He would have to get Khushi back to his senses. Arnav on the other hand had decided that he was going to ruin Kartic for what he did to Khushi. He would protect Khushi  at any cost he wouldn't even let a scratch on her.

They danced a little while and Arnav's friends made Khushi try tequila for the first time. She was gone in just 2 shots. But still she had fun. He sipped on his whiskey and watched her dance she was rocking the dance floor. Kartic also decided to stay back and he was shocked he underestimated Khushi. His ego started to rise. Irritated he left for the hotel hoping that when she came back to the hotel room he would talk to her.

It was now around 4:30 in the morning and Khushi was super drunk. She was singing dancing and jumping Arnav had to control her but she didn't mind it at all. He just wanted to make her happy. Finally when it was getting late he said

Arnav: Lets go back Khushi your drunk (he chuckled)

Khushi: (tipsy she said) Drunk and me (she pointed cutely) I dont know Arnavji the only thing I know is that I am so happy (she through her hands in the air)

Arnav:(giggled) Khushi (he held her hand) Come on sweet heart you need to get to bed

Khsuhi: (nodded her head and said) No I dont want to go. I want to stay here with you (she spoke like a baby)

Arnav (had enough and then he picked her up in his arms) You need to go to bed

Khushi: (holding on to him said) Arnavji put me down. I want to jump and scream in joy. I dont want to go back to that boring hotel room either i will be all alone or i will be with that stupid Kartic (she cribbed)

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) Come to my villa there is an extra room there you can sleep the night off

Khushi: No i dont want to sleep (she cribbed) I want to go some where

Arnav: What the!! Khushi its 4:30 at night where do you want to go

Khushi: To the beach (she claimed) Lets go (she dragged his hands)

They started to walk towards the beach it was very windy and the noise of the waves could be heard, They walked on the soft Sand Khushi closed her eyes and then Khushi said:

Khushi: You know why I am so happy today

Arnav: (tucking her hair behind her ears said) Why??

Khushi: Because told Kartic to off (She giggled) Arnavji you should have seen his face today when he saw me with you and that too like this in these clothes (she looked at her dress) He was in for a shock.

Arnav just giggled as she spoke

Khushi: I wish i didn't have to see him ever again. I hate him you know (she said irritated)

Arnav: Then leave him (he said voicing his opinion)

Khushi: (looked up and said) How how can i just leave him Babuji and all what will they say. (she said hassled)

Arnav: DOnt live your life for them live it for yourself Khushi stop doing what others tell you to do (he said to her) Its your life not theirs

Khushi: (irritated she said) I dont know Arnavji. The only thing that i know is that i dont want to think about it i just want to be happy i am fed up of him and his tantrums and his crap that i am not good enough I just dont want to see him at all

Arnav: Its ok Sweet heart calm down everything will be fine. You just be happy

He said to her and then he picked her up in his arms and then carried her to the car she curled up into him and held onto him tightly as she could. He placed her in the car and drove back home. 

Chapter 5

Arnav and Khushi walked the beach.  Arnav told her that they are going out for dinner and then may be a party. His friend was having one he wasn't going to go as he is not the kind of guy to party so much but he agreed because he wanted o take Khush with him. They bought a nice cute dress for the night all though it was quite short Khushi resisted to but Arnav managed to convince her. He picked the dress out himself and she couldn't say no to him. She seemed to enjoy this. It was now 6 pm and it Khushi said to him

Khushi: Arnavji I think we should go back to the hotel

Arnav: All ok how come you want to go back so early (he asked)

Khushi: Its just that i want to take a shower and then we can go for dinner i feel really sticky. I hope you dont mind

Arnav: No not at all in fact thats perfect why dont you take a shower and in the mean time i can just finish talking to my office and checking mails. Then we can meet around 8:30 and go for dinner and then to the party

Khushi: Sounds good (she smiled back at him)

Arnav smiled back they walked back to the car and then went back to the hotel. Khushi said a short bye to him and then went to her room to take a nice hot shower. As she entered the room she saw Kartics things on the floor she sighed and then picked them up put them in the right place and then went off for her shower. She didn't realize but she had now just stopped caring what Kartic was up to ever since Arnav took her in his arms and told her that everything would be ok. She seemed to be on cloud 9. The warmth of his arms could still be felt on her body and she loved it a lot. She never wanted to leave his arms she only wanted to rest her head on his chest and go to sleep. It would be the most peaceful thing ever. She knew it was wrong because she was married and she was suppose to be loyal to Kartic but Kartic never cared for her. He never loved her she was not happy with him. She tried hard to convince him but he never listen. Her heart told her that she should just forget about all her worries and enjoy with Arnav till she was here. She didn't want to think of the future she just wanted to live in the moment and be happy.

Meanwhile Arnav too went for a small shower and sat on his lap top he was trying to concentrate but he couldn't. The only thought in his head was Khushi a small smile came on his face as he thought off her. She was so cute he remembered how much she blabbed and talked. He started doc chuckle thinking off her when suddenly his phone rang. He answered

Arnav: Hello... Oh hi Di

Anjili: Chottey how are you

Arnav: I am good hows everything with you and how is Ishaara

Anjili: She is here waiting to talk to you

Anjili handed the phone to her younger sister who was dying to talk to her brother.

Ishaara: Bhaya whats up hows your holiday

Arnav: Hi gudiya I am good and my holiday is great actually

Ishaanra: Nice I can't wait to come as well to you listen i am coming earlier my college gave me leave so i will reach Goa tomorrow

Arnav: Thats nice email me your flight tickets I will send a car for you

Ishaara: great will do

She smiled and put the phone down. She then looked at her older sister and said to her with a happy face and said

Ishaara: Di didn't bhaya seem rather happy when he spoke to us today

Anjili: (smiled) Yeah he did. Usually he is always cribbing when we send him for his holiday

Ishaara: Something is fishy for sure and tomorrow I will find out

Anjili: (rolled her eyes) Hmm you na your like the FBI

Ishaara giggled at her sister

It was not 8 pm and Khushi walked towards the lobby she looked beautiful she wore the same dress Arnav picked for her it was a short black dress. She had subtle make up on her hair was curled up and she wore black heals. As Arnavs eyes fell on her he was dumb struck she looked beautiful and so pretty. He couldn't take his eyes off her.

She saw him he was in a blue shirt and jeans and looked as hot as ever. She smiled at him her heart started to beat fast as she came closer to him. He held her hand and then said to her in his husky voice

Arnav: Chalen

Khushi nodded and blushed they walked towards the car and like a true gentle man he opened the door for her she sat in. Then he circled around and sat on the drivers seat and they left the hotel. There was silence at first in the car and then suddenly Khushi said

Khushi: Where are we going Arnavji

Arnav: first we are going to this restaurant called Fiesta and then we are going to one off my friends parties. He is a child hood friend

Khushi: Ohk (she said with her head down worried as to how she would fit in)

Arnav: (put his hand on hers and said to her) Dont worry you will be fine  Sameera and Ishaan are there too

Khushi smiled she was now comfortable she like them. They reached the hotel as Khushi walked in she saw the place was lit up with candles and there were tables and chairs placed. The place was buzzing with people. It looked like a cute shack. Arnav ordered the food it was delicious and Khushi enjoyed everything he ordered. The server came and asked if they would want wine and Arnav looked at Khushi who smiled and then Arnav smiled

Arnav: I think we will pass

Khushi knew why he declined it was because she went drunk last time she smiled and giggled to cover her blush

Arnav: We can drink at the party

Khushi: I dont think i will drink this time

Arnav: Oh yeah every one says that and then they all drink (he smirked then he put his hand on hers and then he smiled) You will be fine i am there to take care of you

Khushi blushed they at dessert and then Arnav paid the bill she insisted that she wanted to pay half but he refused saying that it is his treat she smiled and then they left for the party

As they reached the party she saw the lights go on and off the place was a crowed jungle with people dancing under the shiny disco ball. some had drinks in their hands some were talking and some were just drunk. Khushi getting a bit nervous before they entered she stopped a bit scared and then Arnav asked

Arnav: What happened are you ok

Khushi: Its just .... (she paused and then said) what if they dont like me

Arnav: And why wont they (he raised his eye brows)

Khushi: I have never been to a party like this ever What if they find me middle class Arnavji i am nervous

Arnav: (hissed then he went up to her and put an arm around her and said to her) You are not middle class for the 100th time and they will love you, and besides i am there so dont be scared

Khushi nodded her heart was beating when Arnav put his arm around her she started to feel warm and nice. They walked into the party and Arnav said hi to a couple of people then he introduced Khushi to them. Khushi smiled and mingled around with his friends. Sameera and Ishaan came up and tapped her she was happy to see them as well

Ishaan: (again taking Khushi's hand and shaking it said with a smile) 2nd time you brought him out Congratulations Your amazing

Khushi: (chuckled) I didn't bring him he brought me

Sameera: yeah he did but its shocking you know how much we chewed his brain to come here. It looks like he only came for you

Khushi smiled and blushed Arnav was busy with some people then the host came up to him. He shook hands with Arnav. Khushi stood behind him

Arnav: Rohit this is my friend Khushi

Rohit: (smiled shook her hand) Hi Khushi please enjoy the party why dont you have a drink in your hand (he called the server and handed her a drink)

Khushi: Thank you

Rohit: Arnav i would like to introduce you to one of my friends he is planning on starting a business

Arnav: Ok cool but who is he and what kind of business

Arnav Asked as Khushi stood with her vodka in her hand

Rohit: He is right here wait i will get him let him tell you about it why dont you and Khushi come to the lounge it will be more quite there

Arnav nodded and then Rohit went to call the man. Arnav and Khushi went towards the lounge which had less people. They were waiting there and then Arnav asked her

Arnav: Sorry Khushi this will only take a few minutes

Khushi: No problem Arnavji i am fine.

Then he nudged her shoulder with his playfully and said to her pointing at the vodka glass

Arnav: Go easy on that tiger (he smirked)

Khushi: Oh Arnavji (she blushed and slapped his shoulder)

They both giggled away and then suddenly they saw Rohit walk into the lounge and some one followed them. Khushi's eyes turned big when she saw who it was. The man saw Khushi  and was shocked he had no idea what to say. He never expected Khushi here and like this he said

Chapter 4

The sun rose into the bright sky and Khushi was fast asleep until she heard her phone bell ring like a speeding fire alarm. She woke up with a stark hearing the phone ring. She saw Arnav calling a soft smile played on her lips she smiled answered the phone

Khushi: Arnavji (she said in a sleepy voice)

Arnav: Hey how are you feeling

Khushi: My head hurts and every thing is going round and round

Arnav: (chuckled) You got drunk last night

Khushi: (eyes popped out ) What !!

Arnav: (chuckled once more) I am coming over to your room ok. Get ready in 15 minutes and then we will go out

Khushi: No way you can't come here what is Kartick sees you. (she looked around the room it was empty and then she said all confused) But where is Kartick

Arnav: He is with his friends in the pool side

Khushi: How do you know

Arnav: I found out, Now get ready i am coming there

Khushi: Ok fine you dont come here i will meet you in the lobby

Arnav: Cool

Saying that he hung up. Khushi went to the bathroom to have a bath. She felt so good standing under the hot shower felt like heaven was on her. She was about to remove her salwar but then put it aside removing the new dress that she bought that day. She smiled at the yellow dress and then said in a soft voice.

Khushi: I am wearing this only for you Arnavji (she said happily as her heart thumped up and down)

She had no idea if it was still the alcohol or herself but it felt good and she completely forgot about Kartick who was probably now at the back of her mind. Putting on a bit of light make up she left the room walking towards the lobby.

Arnav stood there in a blue shirt and jeans. He looked so handsome. She smiled as she saw him and he smirked and raised his eye brows and then he said

Arnav: Your wearing a dress how come

Khushi: (smiled back) Because i feel new i feel different thats why

Arnav: (smirked back) Nice to know (he held her hand and then took her to the car) Come lets go

Arnav felt so good to see Khushi who was so happy it made him feel light and made his heart pound to his chest. She looked beautiful in a dress. He decided that today he would take her to another dress shop to by more dresses since she liked them

They took off to explore another place in Goa. He took her around to all the different places they visited more churches they went out shopping. They were walking on the streets when they came across a really cute dress shop. Arnav took Khushi into the small shack she looked through all the dresses and then Arnav said

Arnav: Why dont you buy some

KHushi: (felt shy) But i can't wear these everyday

Arnav: You can wear them till your in Goa. Come on your here for two weeks more you can wear them when your out with me (he said to her)

Khushi: But Kartick (she said nervously)

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) Chill he wont even know (he paused and then smirked) Besides you look cute in them

Khushi blushed and her heart started to beat when she heard that Arnav found her looking cute. This meant so much to her and she didn't know why. She smiled back at him and then they chose the dresses together. Khushi was so engrossed in shopping that she forgot her phone was ringing. Then Arnav said

Arnav: Khushi your phone is ringing

Khushi realized smiled back and then nodded she took her phone out it was Kartick, She answered the phone

Khushi: Hi Kartic

Kartic: Khushi where are you i was trying you for so long

Khushi: I was out shopping. What happened ?? (she asked him sweetly)

Kartic: Khushi my friend has a bungalow in goa and i am shifting there for a few days ok (he informed her)

Khushi: Ohk (she said softly) Can i come too (she asked)

Arnav watched as she asked him she looked sad and nervous he waited to see whats happening

Kartick: No you can't. Khushi i dont want to be embarrassed if front of my friends, You too middle class (he said bluntly)

Her expressions changed and then cut the call. She put her cell phone back turned to the clothes rack and then pretended to smile.Arnav observed how she tried to hide her pain. Once she finished choosing the clothes she paid and then smiled at him and they walked out of the shop. He couldn't take it any more she was sad. He hated seeing her sad. He held her hand and took her away she asked confused

Khushi: Arnavji what happened

Arnav: Come with me (he said irritated)

Khushi: But where (she asked confused)

Arnav didn't answer he just took her they had a long walk until they reached the end of the street which opened into a beach which was empty . They walked on the beach towards the ocean and then Arnav left her hand and she asked her

Khushi: Why have you brought me here (she asked confused and lost)

Arnav: You look sad what happened (he asked worried)

Khushi: Its nothing (she turned away hiding her tears)

Arnav: (turned her around and then saw her tears, he wiped them off and said) Tell me what happened Khushi

Khushi: NO i wont let it be Arnavji I am fine (she insisted)

Arnav: (started to loose patience he caught hold of her shoulders and pulled her towards him, her breasts rested on his chest Khushi's heart started to beat and Arnav said in anger) Just tell me dammit

Khushi: (was shocked to see him like that she never thought he would be so aggressive and so she yelled) Leave me Arnavji i told you its nothing

Arnav: (griped onto her tighter) Not until you tell me what did that Skum bag tell you

Khushi: (trying to let go she looked up at him angry and then said) Mind it Arnavji he is my husband

Arnav: (still holding onto her now more tighter screamed)  What the !! Husband, WHat crap he is not your husband. He is a coward and an idiot who does not appreciate an angle like you. He is an idiot for mistreating you and i know he has broken your heart again and your sad

Khushi: (looked up into his eyes she found possessiveness and love in them she found caring and passion. but she kept quite and didn't answer he waited for a while and then she said) What difference does it make I am stuck with him my whole life. (she said sadly) And why do you care so much

Arnav:(in a spur of a moment yelled back) Because i care for you dammit. Call me crazy but i do (he gripped on to her tight) You have millions of options i refuse to believe your stuck with him.

Khushi: I am stuck with him My babuji got me married and now i must stay with Kartic to honor my father

Arnav: Khushi i am sure your dad is not going to be happy when he finds out that your not. (he paused and then said) I dont know your family but i know you in the couple of days we have spent i can see your not happy. (he looked at her once more and then said to her meaningfully) Share you pain with me Khsuhi i am here for you

She looked up into his eyes and a tear fell from them. She looked at him closer she couldn't take it she let loose she buried her head on his chest and began to cry her hands slowly made their way on his back and he embraced her with open arm she cried on his chest, she felt so soft so delicate so light hearted so safe. He was feeling nice too she was in his arms nothing could feel more right then that. The waves made romantic chimes and the wind blew. After Khushi finished crying her heart out on his chest she looked up at him. He looked calmly at her. He was still holding her by the waist he slowly took one of his hands and wiped off the tears and then asked her in a soft voice

Arnav: Tell me everything Khushi

Khsuhi (nodded) Kartic called and told me that he is moving into his friends house for the two weeks that we are here. I asked him if i could come and he said no because i was middle class and i will embarrass him. Arnavji am i that bad (she wept again)

Arnav: (wiped her tears) Shhhh Dont cry. Your not embarrassing your perfect Khushi (he spoke his heart) Your the most beautiful girl that i have ever seen. Its a shame that Kartic doesn't value you

Khushi: (felt so nice when he spoke about her that way) Thank you Arnavji

Arnav: (pulled her into an other hug she rested her head on his chest and then said to her cutely) Shhh now dont cry. Let him go where he wants we can have fun by ourself i promise Khushi these few days that your here we will have a great time

Khushi nodded her head still on his chest. She looked up at the sky and said to herself she wished Arnavji was her real life prince. She really did. This is all that she wanted a man who would love her for who she is and what she was.

They broke the hug and then Arnav and Khushi went ahead walking on the beach as Arnav tried to cheer her up and make her laugh.

Chapter 3

They reached the hotel back and Arnav tried to convince Khushi for dinner but she declined she didn't want to be out for too long. She was worried how Kartic would react and so she just declined the offer for tonight. Khushi walked back into her room to find it empty. She looked for Kartick but he wasn't around. She tried to ignore it for a while but couldn't finally piking her phone up she dialed his number and he picked up

Khushi: Kartick where are you

Kartick: I am out actually with some friends. Where have you been the whole day

Khushi: Uh well (hesitating) I was out you remember you told me about the tour guide thing I asked the hotel to get me one.

Kartick: Ohk great, Khushi I will be late again you eat your dinner and sleep dont wait up

Khushi: But where are you at least tell me. Cant I come please (she hoped he would say yes)

Kartick: I said i am out and no you can't come. (saying that he banged the phone down)

Khushi felt sad again after he hung up on her. She had such a good day, She had so much fun and all she wanted was too have that fun with Kartic at least her head thought but her heart told her otherwise. Her heart said that she was glad she went out with Arnavji because she was sure she couldn't have fun with Kartick like this he was too uptight for these things. A smile came on her face as she thought of Arnav and the worry in her heart just swept away. She wondered what Arnav had done to her, It was a miracle how just thinking of him made her worries all disappear. She smiled and went to have a bath.

Meanwhile Arnav went back to his room. He was so happy. He spent a perfectly good day with Khushi. Khushi he thought a chuckle released from his throat as he thought of her. She was really different and unique. He remembered how much she talked. She was a nonstop talking machine. He laughed a bit more. But all her babbling and talking seemed so silly yet so interesting. Arnav was a man of less words and a very bad listener. But as he thought of the days events he resized that he could go on listening to Khushi for hours with out getting bored. What magic had this girl done. He thought. Although he did feel bad for her for what she was going through. He still couldn't understand why would any guy let go of a girl like Khushi. She was perfect. She was beautiful smart funny understanding and she was ready to accept change. Why would any one let go of such a perfect girl. Her husband must have a screw loose in his brain. Arnav vowed that till Khushi was in Goa he would make sure that all of her days and nights were spent enjoying having fun. He didn't know why he felt the need to do it but he knew he just had to. There was something special about her. He never wanted to see even a tear in her eyes. His heart started to beat fast as he thought of her crying. He didn't like it for even a bit. Khushi became the center of his world and Arnav was yet to discover that.

Khushi ate her dinner while watching Tv. The thought of Kartic out again started to fill her up. She thought she could handle it but she couldn't. She really couldn't the same miserable feeling was coming back to her. All she ever wanted was a husband who would love her and protect her, She wanted a prince just like Arnav. Her heart started to beat fast. She didn't know what to say to herself. She mentally smacked herself for thinking of Arnav that way. But she knew that there was something about him. She wished Kartic could be like that. She was sitting in deep thought when her phone rang from an unknown number.

Khushi: Hello

Voice: Khushi what are you doing

Khushi: Ar.... Arnavji (she said softly)

Arnav: Yeah its me. What are you doing

Khushi: Uhm nothing eating dinner and watching tv

Arnav: Oh are you with your husband

Khushi: (looking down she said softly) No he has gone out

Arnav: Oh (he raised his eye brows) But why are you alone. You should have told me we could have gone out

Khushi: Its ok Arnavji we have had a long day and I thought Kartic would want to eat dinner so i came back. but it turns out he already went with his friends (she said sad)

Arnav: (figured out how she is feeling and said) Screw him. Listen meet me at the beach right now

Khushi: But why

Arnav: Just cuz i said so (he commanded) Just come chill you will be back before your silly Kartic comes back

Khushi: Hey dont call him silly (she said playfully)

Arnav: What ever, Just come ok

Khushi: Fine

Saying that she put the phone down. She went to the mirror and combed her hair. Put little light make up. and left for the beach. He was standing on the soft sand watching the sea. She came from behind and tapped him and playfully said hi

Arnav: (smirked) Hey

Khushi: Why did you call me here

Arnav: SO that you can have some fun and leave that boring room

Khushi: Arnavji, what if Karitc comes back

Arnav: What the !! Khushi forget about everything just enjoy yourself and have fun

Khushi smiled and nodded cutely

They walked on the beach. There was an akward silence between them and then Khushi spoke softly

Khushi: where are we going

Arnav: You will see

Khushi: Please tell me (she said cutely)

Arnav: (smirked) Well a few of my friends are having a bond fire at the end of the beach and we are going there

Khushi: Really Wow !! (she said excited) I have never been for a bond fire ever before

Arnav: Great then today is your lucky day (he smirked)

They reached the bond fire spot there were lots of people sitting with their food and drinks around the fire, They were smiling and laughing. Khushi seemed a bit nervous because she was not dressed right for the occasion and she wasn't sure if they would like her. Arnav realized and held her hand. As soon as he touched her hand she felt a vibration and her heart started to beat. She just gave him a nervous smile and he went on to introduce her to every one. One of the boys Ishaan came and handed Arnav a drink he offered one to Khushi as well but she refused and this made Arnav raised his eye brows

Arnav: Why aren't you drinking

Khushi: Arnavji I can't I mean I dont

Arnav: Its ok have it

Khushi: What will Kartic say

Arnav: (rolled his eyes) Khushi he is not here just have it (he shoved the glass in her hand)

Khushi couldn't say no and so she just nodded and had a sip. He had a different feeling it a different taste. She had never tasted it before. Arnav asked

Arnav: You ok

Khushi: This is the first time I am drinking (she said softly)

Ishaan who heard the conversation smiled and then said sweetly

Ishaan: There is always a first time

Khushi smiled back at him then Ishaan introduced her to his girlfriend Jia she was a nice girl she was friendly and sweet. The place had a different vibe everyone felt so relaxed and easy going she thought they would be snobbish but they weren't they were all quite friendly and nice. They sat around the fire as the music played Arnav made Khushi as comfortable as he could. They were playing a game of truth and dare when The bottle spun to Khushi she didn't know what to do

Sameera: Khushi truth or dare

Khushi: I dont know (she looked blank)

Sameera: Its simple just choose

Khushi: Uhm Dare (she said unaware of what she was going on)

Arnav smirked at her he never expected her to say a dare he thought she would choose truth Sammera smiled and then said

Sameera: Nice. Ok lets see You have to dance with some one here

Khsuhi: (eyes popped out and she looked shocked) What no I can't (she said terrified)

Every one cheered for her and then Sameera said

Sameera: Oh come on Khushi its just a dance. (she looked towards Arnav who looked at Khushi with amusement and then said excited) Why dont you dance with ASR

Ishaan spat his drink out and then said in a laughing tone

Ishaan: ASR and dance I would give a million bucks to see that

Khushi:(raised her eye brows and asked) Why what happened can't Arnavji dance

Ishaan: Oh sure he can. But he wont he is the mighty ASR Khushi do you know how much of convincing Jiya and me had to do to get him to come here. Your Arnavji is such a Khadoos

Khushi's eyes popped out when she heard Ishaan say her Arnavji her heart started to beat and a small smile came on her face. It felt so good, was it her real feeling or the drink she still couldn't figure out but she felt nice and light. Arnav who was a silent spectator watched her he slowly got up and came towards her took her hand the crowd started to cheer the DJ played the music (Ride it from Jay Sean Hindi version) Arnav led Khushi to the open space. The music slowly began, He made Khushi snake his arms around his neck and he placed it on her waist. All the while they had an eye lock between each other. He pulled her close and their hearts beat and they began slowly move and sway with the music. Both their hearts synchronized with each other. They forgot about the people around them all they knew was that they were with each other in each others arms. Khushi forgot about Kartic she forgot her tension she just felt nice and warm with Arnav and she didn't want to stop dancing with him it just felt perfect. The music stopped and slowly Arnav stopped swaying with her their eye lock still continued both could only feel each other close. But their trance was broken when they heard the clapping noise. Khushi left his hand and looked around and they saw smiling faces. She blushed like crazy and Arnav smirked and then Ishaan went up to Khush and shook her hand and said excited

Ishaan : Congratulations

Khushi: (confused she asked) For what

Ishaan: (happy he said) 1st you dance really well and 2nd I can't believe you got ASR to dance with you. Khushi you really must be special for him to dance with you

Khushi blushed as crazy and Arnav just kept smirking not knowing what to say. She just felt nice and happy. They sat down and spoke for a while and Khushi lost count of how much she drank. All she knew was that she was happy and light headed. She kept talking and laughing and Arnav was just amused by her contestant blabbering.

It was time to go back to the room he picked her up in his arms and took her to the lobby. He asked the receptionist which room she was in and then he slowly let him self in with the key and placed her on the bed. Kartic was not back.

She smiled at him cutely and said in a playful tone

Khushi: Arnavji your so sweet. (she chuckled) Oh you really are like a prince (she held onto his collar so he wouldn't leave)

Arnav: (smirked back) Khushi you had too much. Go to sleep (releasing his collar)

He said amused with her. He was about to leave when she held onto his hand and stopped him making him sit on the bed next to her he said to her softly while he tucked the lock of hair behind her ears

Arnav: And your a princess

Khushi: (nodded from left to right and said) no i am not. I am a middle class and tacky  girl(she said sad)

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) Who said  that

Khushi: (pouting cutely said in a sad voice) Kartic did

Arnav: (rolled her eyes and then said) He is an idiot your an angle a princess. Your so beautiful and so funny  and you talk so much (he spoke his heart out)

Khushi slapped his chest playfully and said

Khushi: I dont talk so much

Arnav: (raised his eye brows) yes you do (then he smirked pulled her nose and said softly) But i like it its cute.

Khushi: Do you think i am a princess so

Arnav: I know so (he said confidently)

She smiled at him and shut her eyes and fell asleep and Arnav shut the lights and left her hand and left the room before Kartic came back.
